To the editor:

Given our president's latest proposal for "the wall," I propose we set up a sign on the U.S. side that says, "Welcome to West Berlin." How do we differ from the USSR after World War II on this one? Isolationism has never worked, just check presidents Wilson and Roosevelt before World War I and World War II.
